The University of Alaska Fairbanks campus has approximately 6,000  
students, and is located in Fairbanks. With a local population of  
more than 80,000, Fairbanks offers the sophistication of medium-sized  
cities while maintaining the atmosphere of smaller, more personal  
towns. The Geophysical Institute is one of several research  
institutes on campus which employs about 50 faculty with expertise in  
everything from Space Physics to Tectonics. Within the Geophysical  
Institute, the Alaska Earthquake Information Center (AEIC) records  
nearly 500 seismic stations located throughout the region, and  
locates up to 20,000 earthquakes in Alaska each year. The Alaska  
Volcano Observatory (AVO) is another major program within the  
Geophysical Institute and the Arctic Region Super Computer Center  
(ARSC) is located nearby. These diverse intellectual and data  
resources offer many opportunities for collaboration within and  
between disciplines.
